Enthusiasm

For the first time in several days, Austin was actually (mildly) excited that he was able to play his favourite on-line game (Runescape) in the comfort of his hospital bed. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see him smile! He received another hit of chemo today, which made him feel very sick. He is resting peacefully now and is no longer feeling ill after throwing up. From this point on, we just have to let his body recover enough to get out of isolation. Austin has been very fortunate that he has not contracted an infection during his "immune compromised state" (his white blood cell count is less than 0.1)! I am constantly washing and disinfecting things to ensure everything is germ free - to keep him safe.....hopefully it helps!!
